I don't normally do this sort of thing, but i would like to ask all of my fellow Raiders please keep my grandfather in your well wishes. He was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, and at his age, treatment is not an option. He is currently at home, with 24/7 hospice care, and my family and I are just hoping for an easy passing for him.

My grandfather, John Leigh McKenzie, served 4 honorable years in the 82nd Airborne Division in WWII, and after the war, went into law and became a State Prosecutor, helping keep those who have done wrong punished. He was an extremely honorable man, and I'd appreciate the thoughts and well wishes.

Thank you.

Well, I made it to Minnesota in time to say good bye to my grandfather, who passed away this afternoon. But I told him of all the well wishes you had all sent, and it really meant something to him.

I really appreciate all the well wishes. Thank you.

I am really sorry to hear that McKenzie, atleast you had the chance to say goodbye. I too watched my grandfather pass. I wish I had the chance to say goodbye to my father when he passed.

Best wishes my friend, stay positive and hope to see you return soon.

Sorry to hear that. I'm glad you were able to be there, though. I've been there a couple of times.. Let me know if you need anything. I can tell you stories how I dealt with it. Let's just say it involved a sword and a dead tree. Work through it however you need. And hoist a brew or two. It does help, but only with those who knew him. It does help.
